Second lady Usha Vance has been appointed to lead the presidential delegation to Italy for the 2025 Special Olympics World Winter Games, the Office of President Donald Trump announced on Thursday.

Vance will head the delegation to Turin, Italy, the host city for this year’s Games, with the opening ceremony scheduled for Friday.

Usha, a lawyer, has been married to Vice President JD Vance since 2014, and the couple has three children.

Usha Vance sat next to former high school volleyball player Payton McNabb during Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. McNabb told Fox News Digital that she was “heartbroken” when she learned that Trump’s executive order on transgender athletes’ participation in women’s and girls’ sports was not codified into law by the Senate.

“Last night, just overall, the Democrat Party was so disrespectful,” McNabb said in reference to members of the party wore pink and displayed signs during the joint session of Congress.
